Dave Mustaine saw it in a newspaper "the arsenal of megadeath can't be rid" or something really close to that. He used it as a song name, but then used it as the band name. He took out th "A" cuz he thought it looked cheesy with it. Submitted by: The Funt

The word "megadeath" means "the death of a million people", like something that would be caused by an atom bomb. They used the word (surely fitting to their subject matter), and just took out the "e" to be unique. Submitted by: xThrashxTillxDeathx

Well me, it's nice talking to myself A credit to dementia Someday, you too will know my pain And smile its black-toothed grin If the war inside my head Won't take a day off I'll be dead My icy fingers claw your back Here I come again

Why:

The whole song is about schizophrenia and mental insanity, and on top of that Mustaine sings the whole thing in his creepy "Mustaine" voice...freaky song to listen to in the dark alone.
